| A family kayaks on the lake at James Island County Park |
We're here for a couple of weeks around Easter. We hope to visit a few friends and see more of Charleston & James Island. We had a great visit while at High Point, NC and took a leisurely two days to get down to Johns Island, SC with an overnight stop in Columbia, SC.
For this stay we're at the Oak Plantation RV Park. It's our third choice in RV parks when in the Charleston area. Nice park, but a bear to make a left turn on US 17 towards most of the places we plan to visit.
So far we've eaten dinner at Bessinger's BBQ, gotten to downtown Charleston (parked the truck at the oversize vehicle lot next to the visitor center), and had lunch at Hominy Grille (worth the visit). Donna also scheduled her a sunrise kayak tour from Folly Beach for tomorrow.
Today, we tried to find a way to James Island County Park that I felt we could comfortably get the trailer through & miss all those lovely, low-hanging oak limbs Charleston is know for. James Island County Park is our first choice in campgrounds while in the Charleston area. It has a shuttle to take you to the Charleston visitor center and excellent walk/bike paths. And while we did stay there in early spring of 2011, I felt we'd pushed our luck to have missed all those tree limbs. I didn't find anything all that "open", but we did see an 18-wheeler traveling down the road in the opposite direction we were going. Wish we could have followed it and saw how it did.
Anyway, we're glad to be here. Our visit is just starting. More later. David
